All roads led to Swedish retail giant IKEA's first India store in Hyderabad on opening day. Thousands of shoppers thronged the massive store, while bumper-to-bumper traffic brought parts of the city to a grinding halt by the evening. Although shoppers began trickling in from the morning, the numbers swelled as the day progressed as shoppers continued to flock the outlet, jostling to get inside, until the store's closing at night. In fact, such was the turnout, that the Cyderabad police even had to issue a traffic advisory for those headed towards the outlet.
